We're the national voice for Down syndrome

Down Syndrome Australia is made up of eight State and Territory associations providing support, information and resources to people with Down syndrome and their families across the country. The associations have come together to represent and progress the needs, interests and aspirations of people with Down syndrome and those that support them.

Membership of your State or Territory Association provides much-needed funds and links you in with the latest information and resources – and especially the vibrant community of people with Down syndrome, their families and supporters.

Down Syndrome Australia acknowledges and celebrates International Day of People With Disability (IDPWD) on December 3. This year's theme is empowering people with disabilities and ensuring inclusiveness and equality.

Down Syndrome Australia’s 2018 national survey has found people with Down syndrome and their families are receiving more support than ever before but there are problems with access to the NDIS and the level of knowledge about Down syndrome.
